In enterprise AI, understanding and working across multiple languages is no longer optional its essential for meeting the needs of employees, customers and users worldwide.Multilingual information retrieval the ability to search, process and retrieve knowledge across languages plays a key role in enabling AI to deliver more accurate and globally relevant outputs.Enterprises can expand their generative AI efforts into accurate, multilingual systems using NVIDIA NeMo Retriever embedding and reranking NVIDIA NIM microservices, which are now available on the NVIDIA API catalog. These models can understand information across a wide range of languages and formats, such as documents, to deliver accurate, context-aware results at massive scale.With NeMo Retriever, businesses can now:Extract knowledge from large and diverse datasets for additional context to deliver more accurate responses.Seamlessly connect generative AI to enterprise data in most major global languages to expand user audiences.Deliver actionable intelligence at greater scale with 35x improved data storage efficiency through new techniques such as long context support and dynamic embedding sizing.New NeMo Retriever microservices reduce storage volume needs by 35x, enabling enterprises to process more information at once and fit large knowledge bases on a single server. This makes AI solutions more accessible, cost-effective and easier to scale across organizations.Leading NVIDIA partners like DataStax, Cohesity, Cloudera, Nutanix, SAP, VAST Data and WEKA are already adopting these microservices to help organizations across industries securely connect custom models to diverse and large data sources. By using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques, NeMo Retriever enables AI systems to access richer, more relevant information and effectively bridge linguistic and contextual divides.Wikidata Speeds Data Processing From 30 Days to Under Three DaysIn partnership with DataStax, Wikimedia has implemented NeMo Retriever to vector-embed the content of Wikipedia, serving billions of users. Vector embedding or vectorizing is a process that transforms data into a format that AI can process and understand to extract insights and drive intelligent decision-making.Wikimedia used the NeMo Retriever embedding and reranking NIM microservices to vectorize over 10 million Wikidata entries into AI-ready formats in under three days, a process that used to take 30 days. That 10x speedup enables scalable, multilingual access to one of the worlds largest open-source knowledge graphs.This groundbreaking project ensures real-time updates for hundreds of thousands of entries that are being edited daily by thousands of contributors, enhancing global accessibility for developers and users alike. With Astra DBs serverless model and NVIDIA AI technologies, the DataStax offering delivers near-zero latency and exceptional scalability to support the dynamic demands of the Wikimedia community.DataStax is using NVIDIA AI Blueprints and integrating the NVIDIA NeMo Customizer, Curator, Evaluator and Guardrails microservices into the LangFlow AI code builder to enable the developer ecosystem to optimize AI models and pipelines for their unique use cases and help enterprises scale their AI applications.Language-Inclusive AI Drives Global Business ImpactNeMo Retriever helps global enterprises overcome linguistic and contextual barriers and unlock the potential of their data.
